Geranium ‘Spinners’

Flowers: May-August.  Plant in sun or part shade.  HxS 60x75cm

One of my first geraniums, from Peter Chappell’s nursery, Spinners, in the mid-1980’s.  Propagated from that original plant, this Geranium pratense hybrid is a good doer.  The leaves are mounded and deeply cut and the flowers are a rich purple-blue.  It grows well in beds or borders when given the space.  Pest and disease resistant, easy to grow and ultra hardy.  Tolerant of most soil types.

Care & Maintenance.

Cut back hard in August and it will throw more flowers in the autumn.  Propagate by division in March-April.  Split every four-five years to maintain vigour.  Cut back to the ground in spring.
